ALKOOMI WINES

Alkoomi Wines has received a ‘Red 5 Star’ rating by James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion 2010. The ‘Red 5 Star’ Award is a highly coveted recognition bestowed only on outstanding wineries which regularly produce wines of excellent quality. Recipients must have had at least two wines rated 94 points or above, and the winery must have had a 5 star rating for the previous two years. This is Alkoomi’s consecutive 3rd Red 5 Star Rating and it is further testament to Alkoomi’s commitment to producing world class wines.

The Alkoomi vineyards and winery are located in the Frankland River district of Western Australia’s Great Southern wine region. Merv and Judy Lange established Alkoomi in 1971 and in 2010 handed the reins of the 80,000-case estate to their daughter Sandy and her husband Rod Hallett. Since climatic conditions are similar to those of Bordeaux in France, it is not surprising that this region produces some of the best wines made in Australia. The name Alkoomi is taken from local aboriginal dialect and means ‘a place we choose’. The logo represents a distinctive Australian plant which grows in the area.

Alkoomi is really showing off its winemaking chops with this stunning SSB blend, which brings together two classic white varieties to produce a wine that’s far more than the sum of its (already impressive) parts. As for food pairing, we love this wine with green vegetable dishes, salads, simple white fish creations, grilled chicken breast, and vegetarian alternatives like tofu. Green peas, asparagus, veggie risotto, roast chicken and shellfish will also be fantastic here.
